Ellen G. White had strong views regarding cheese. Here are the main points from her writings, with annotation references for confirmation: 1. Cheese is considered deleterious to health: - "The effect of cheese is deleterious." (Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 47; HL 94.1; CTBH 46.3) - "Cheese should never be introduced into the stomach." (Testimonies for the Church 2:68; HL 94.2) 2. Cheese, along with other rich and animal-based foods, is said to derange the stomach, excite the nerves, and enfeeble the intellect. It is grouped with flesh-meats, butter, rich pastry, spiced foods, and condiments as foods that are not beneficial for health or spiritual well-being. (CTBH 46.3) 3. There is a distinction made between types of cheese: - The reference to cheese does not include cottage cheese or similar foods, which Ellen White recognized as wholesome. (MH 302.1, publisher’s note) 4. Ellen White advocated for a progressive diet reform, encouraging the preparation of food without milk, butter, or cheese, especially as disease in animals increases. (7T 135.1) In summary, Ellen G. White consistently warned against the use of cheese (except cottage cheese and similar types), considering it harmful to health and not suitable for a diet aiming at Christian perfection.
